A Chicago man who allegedly told police the heroin overdose death of a customer was "good for business" will finally stand trial on homicide charges in connection with the death.

After many delays, a five-day jury trial is now set to begin June 16 for 27-year-old Tyshun Meeks, who faces first-degree reckless homicide charges in Marathon County Circuit Court. The trial will begin nearly three years after the death of Justin Selves of Kronenwetter, who police say bought a fatal dose of heroin from Meeks just hours before his death.
